MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The 'Money Market is assuming a very inactive aPpearance, and of course day after day less business Is being transacted. This quietude arises from the feet that the commercial classes are expecting a reduction in the official rate, and they are there fore disinclined to send more bills into circulation than they can possibly avoid till after the hopeful event. The market is well supplied with capital, and discounters are anxious to enter into transac tions at current rates. The general quotation for three months' securities is SI per cent. A further sum of £36,000 in gold was taken into the Bank on Saturday. The Magdalena has arrived from the Brazils with £43 . 75 5, the Europa from Boston with £4,090, the Recta from New York with £20,000, and the Erin also from New York with £35,000. There is also very little alteration to report in the c ondition of the textile and other trad e m a rket s during the past week. The continued high price of _„. /33ob ey has che c k e d speculat i on ; an d at B ra df or d naddersfield, Leicester, and Leeds the business transacted in woollen and cloth goods has been rather small. At Manchester there has been slight fluctuations in the price of cotton yarn, and several g_?ocinperations have taken place. In the hardware district, however, the dealings have been unim portant. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Reuters telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were quoted 64f. 75c. The English Stock Market today has been very favourably influenced, and a rise o f i per cent, has been established in the price of the Funds. The More confident feeling which has now -taken the place of the doubt and anxiety lately witnessed in mercantile and monetary circles, has given an im. Pates to buyers to come forward and speculate for an advance. The public, too, are investing with )o:ss reserve than formerly, and all the Stock Ex.,..,4_ftnge Markets present a buoyant appearance. _ ‘d u asls for money and the 10th inst. are 891 I, and for The the ne 7, Vf account on the BthDecember next, 90/ :.

MARKETS--This Day. MARK-LANE. A fair average business was transacted in wheat in the country markets held on Saturday. In prices, scarcely any change took place. Spring corn of :all descriptions steadily supported previous rates, although the demand was by no means active. Good and fine barley and oats, however, changed :hands somewhat freely. The flour trade was quiet, on former terms. The export trade in breadstuffs at New York continues very inactive, the demand both fur wheat and flour being much restricted, The trade on the Continent for wheat and spring corn is slow. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were but moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 33,782 quarters of wheat, 100 barley, 51,968 oats, 1,353 beans, 4,738 linseed, 3,014 oilseeds, 115 sacks and 19 bar rels of flour. The supply of Kent and Essex wheat on sale at ➢lark lane to-day at the commencement of busine, , s was small. The demand both for red and white qualities ruled somewhat active, and the stands were readily cleared, but factors failed in realising any advance in prices from Monday last, The quotations, therefore, ren_ain unaltered. Tha supplies of home-grown produce subsequently brought forward were, for the most part, disposed of at the full prices of Monday last. Gmerally speaking, the samples were received in good condition. _ _ - The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was toler ably large. American descriptions were in steady request, and a fair average business was transacted in most quali ties, at fully late rates. Good and prime Russian wheats sold steadily at full prices; and as regards other descrip tions of foreign wheat the trade was firm, at quite previous rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate demand, and prices ruled firm. The market was well supplied with English barley; but the bulk was of middling quality, and the barley trade, speaking generally, was slow. Fine parcels, however, were firm in price, and in the value of middling and inferior produce no change took place. Malt was a dull inquiry, and prices had a drooping ten dency. There was a good supply both of English and foreign oats on the stands. For most descriptions there was a steady demand, and last week's quotations were steadily supported.

For the time of year the supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market was large, but its general quality was inferior. Sales progressed slowly, at about previous rates. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts were only moderate, both as to number and quality. Prime Scots, crosses, shorthorns, Herefords and Devons were in fair request, at full prices—the top figure being 5s 6d per Bibs. Otherwise the beef trade was heavy, at barely late rates. Some very good beasts changed hands at 5s 4d per Blbr. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received 2,600 shorthorns, crosses, &o.; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds ; from Scotland, 166 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 550 oxen and heifer& The supply of sheep was rather on the increase, and the condition of most breeds was inferior. Downs, half-breds, Leicesters, and Lincolns moved off steadily, at Monday's advance in the quotations of 2d per Blbs. Ml other breeds of sheep were dull, at about previous currencies. The highest figure was 5s 10d per Ms. Calves, the supply of which was moderate, were in fair request, at full prices—viz., from 4s to 6s per 8 bs. Some small pigs were quits as dear as last week, but large hogs were very dull.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CURIOUS CHARGE OF FURIOUS DRIVING AND DAMAGE.—Joseph Brown, driver of a Hansom cab, badge 12.466, was charged before ➢ir Tyrwhitt with being drunk, and furious driving, and damaging another cab. Castle, a constable of the F division, deposed that on Saturday night, a little before 12, while at the corner of Grafton-street, he saw the defendant, who was drunk, driving a Hansom cab, and directly afterwards he saw the defendant drive into a four wheel cab containing a lady, which was coming in an opposite direction. The conse quence of the collision was that the four-wheel cab was much damaged, the Hansom cab turned over, and the de fendant thrown on to the pavement into a lot of mud. In answer to ➢lr Tyrwhitt, the constable said the defen• dant was going at the rate of 12 miles an hour at the time, his horso galloping. Seeing that he was drunk he took him into custody. The defendant said he was not driving the cab at the [me. It was a relative of his who was driving. Castle said that was nut true. John Gray, the driver of the four-wheel cab, said that while at the corner of Grafton -street his cab was driven into by a Hansom cab, but he could not say the defendant was the driver. The Hansom cab was thrown over, and the driver pitched off. His cab was a good deal damaged. Mr Locke, of the Gray's Inn-road, the owner of the four-wheel cab, said damage was done to the amount of £2 10s. Defendant again said he was not driving; the cab, and ;hat the person was in attendance who drove it• Wm. White, a printer, of 27, Little St. Qndrew•street, deposed that while his brother in law (the defendant) was in a publichouse he jumped on the Hansom cab, of which his brother in law was the driver, and went for a drive. He had the misfortune to drive into a four•wheel cab through a greengrocer's stall being in the road. Mr Tyrwhitt inquired how it was that the police got hold of the defendant. White said that as soon as he met with the accident he ran away to tell the defendant, who on oomirg up was taken into custody. A person living at 34, Great Andrew-street, said he went into a publichouse with the defendant to have a drop "on the quiet," and shortly after White came back, having taken the cab away, and said he had met with an acci dent. The defendant was in the publichouse at the time. Mr Tyrwhitt said he should discharge the defendant, and the owner of the four.wheel cab could sue the person who was driving the Hansom cab for the, damage. THAMES. WORN OUT, BUT NOT DRUNR..—JoshIIa Wright, a portly man of Kent, was brought before Mr Paget charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. Skipper, a police-constable No. 25 H, saw the prisoner walking over Tower-hill on Siturday night at 9 o'clock, but ho kept a :very uneven keel, and was brought up all standing against the railings which surround the glacis. The prisoner held on for a short time, and then released himself and set sail again. He soon came into collision with some trees on the hill, fell against one of them and foundered. The policeman afterwards went to him and finding he was in distress raised him, and endeavoured to get him under weigh again, but he failed, and after trying to right him for a quarter of an hour, finding he couldn't make any sail at all, he conveyed him to the sta tion-house. -- --. Mr Paget—The prisoner hal a good deal of property about him P Skipper—Yes, sir, a bag, withvaluable property, a watch, money, and other property. The place where he fell is very dangerous—there are many land-sharks, loose women, and other thieves about Tower-hill, . . The prisoner, in defence, said he was much obliged to the police for taking care of him and his property. Ho was not drunk but worn out. Mr Paget—How worn out ? The prisoner—l brought a ship up from the Downs. We had bad weather. I was with her for a week, and had no rest. I was regularly worn out. Mr Paget—l should be sorry to entrust you with a ship if you get drunk. The prisoner—l was not drunk on board ship, Mr Paget—Whero do you come from ? The prisoner —From Deal. Mr Paget—l am afraid you had some grog on Saturday, and could not pilot yourself correctly. The prisoner—Well, I had a glass of grog, but I was worn out. Mr Paget—You must pay a fine of 5a for being drunk and incapable. SHIPPING-THIS DAY. LONDON, Nov. 7.—Wind this day at noon—North- Westerly; moderate breeze and find weather, but rather cloudy.

It was also alleged that ho made some statement about an unmarried lady, which was offensive to Mr Lovett. There was conse quently some hostile correspondence between the parties in 1861. But the matter did not go further till the 13th of July, when Mr Lovett arrived on board his yacht in Queenstown harbour for the purpose of being present at the regatta, and was invited by the secretary of the club to meet members at the club-house. Accord ingly he went next day, accompanied by a gentleman named hoare. Mr. Madder, who was at a window, said, Hoare, you are bringing a gentleman to the club who is not admitted here." Ho afterwards called out in a loud tone, "Oh, you wretch I" On these words being used Mr Hoare requested Mr Lovett to take no uotice, and, with Captain Deane Perry, begged him to walk Into the reading-room of the club, which ho did. On the way Mr Hoare requested Captain Perry to accompany him ~ ut to speak to Mr Madder, aad he agreed to do so. Subse quently Mr Lovett was informed that Mr Madder said to those gentlemen that deponent was "a coward, a liar, and t blackguard." and the affidavit set forth that Mr Edmund Burke, a deputy lieutenant of the county of Cork, told him hat Mr Madder used similar expressions to him in refer lice to deponent in the presence of several gentlemen in r,he city of Cork, who were assembled in the Commercial Newsroom. The Chief Justice said he did not think there was any case going to the extent that a criminal informa eation could be granted for the words "You wretch." l'he other words deposed to hero were not addressed to the ?rosccutor personally. After some disetisaien pn this point the Court refused the motion, Naval and Military Intelligence. On Wednesday Gen. Todleben visited the camp at Alder shot, and was present at an inspection and review of the whole of the troops at that station. The General, accompa nied by Lieut.-Gen. the Earl of Cardigan, Capt. the Hon. G. Wrottesley (Royal Engineers), and attended by his suite arrived at the Farnborough station of the South-Western Railway shortly after 11 o'clock, and was received by Lieut. Gen. Sir J. L. Pennefather, K.C.8., and his staff. The whole party then took horse and proceeded to the Long Val ley, where the troops had been previously ordered to assem ble, and arrived upon the review-ground about 12 o'clock. The Russian general being in plain clothes was received by the troops with shouldered arms. The division was formed in three lines, facing eastwards. Major Gen. Taylor's and Major G.M. Russell's brigade, with two batteries of Royal Ar illery and two companies of Itcyal Engineers, formed the advanced line; Major Gen. Betcs's brigade, with the Royal Engineer train on his right, and two battalions of Military Train formed the second line ; and the Cavalry Brigade and D battery Royal Horse Artillery, under the couiccand of Major Gen. Hodge, C.B, formed the third line. In this imposing order the troops were inspected by Sir J. Pennefather, Gen. Todleben, and the Earl of Cardigan, who rode down the front of each line, not without recognition on the part of the Russian general of some officers whom he had met upon a sterner field of operations. The inspection over, the generals, staff, and suite rode over to the saluting point, where the bands of the Royal Horse Artillery and Cavalry Brigade were stationed. The division then marched past, the Artillery, Cavalry, Royal Engineer Train, and Mi litary Train in open columns of batteries, and squadrons at a walk, and the infantry in open column of grand divis ons in quick time. The Royal Engineer Train, Royal Engineers and the t wo battalions Military Train filed off to quarltrs after marching past. The D battery Royal Horse Artillery,and the Cavalry Brigade repassed in open column of squadrons et a gallop, swept round to the right, and formed up in rear of Long-hill. The division was now rapidly manoeuvred, and was formed in order of battle at the base of Long• hill, facing eastward. Gen. Taylor advanced his regiments in quarter distance column at deploying distance, covered by skir mishers. On the recall of the skirmishers the regiments deployed, and the brigade advanced in line. Arrived on the high ground on the east side of the valley, Gen. Taylor halted and opened a splendid file fire, while the E Battery, 9th Brigade, coming up on the right, opened a smart can nonade. "Cease firing" was sounded, the brigade formed fours, and Gen. Russell, who had been in support, execut ing a similar manoeuvre, passed through Gen. Taylor's brigade, advanced about 100 yards to the front, halted, and opened fire. After a time the b.-igade ceased firing, changed position to the left, and formed lino facing the Basingstoke canal. Gen, Taylor also changed position, and formed line in rear of Gen. Russell, and Gen. Bates in quarter-distance column at wheeling distance in rear of Gen. Taylor. Gen. Hodge formed line with the Royals and Greys upon the left of Gen. Russell's brigade, and the 14th Husars formed the second line in their rear. The new formation being com plete, Gen. Pennefather engaged the enemy to the north ward, and Gen. Russell opened fire together with the Royal Artillery on either flank of his brigade. "Cease firing" was again sounded, and Gen. Taylor's brigade advanced and came into action. The Ist Royals, Scots Greys, and 14th Hussars retired by open column of troops from the right, wheeled to the left, and formed two lines in rear of the in fantry, as before. The whole of the infantry was now thrown into echelon of squares, and the Royals and Greys advanced by sections of threes at a gallop, and when clear of the squares reformed line and executed a brilliant charge ; they then retired from both flanks, and reformed in two lines in rear of the infantry. The 14th Hussars executed a similar charge, retired in like manner to the former regie ments, and formed in rear of the Greys. The brigade, now in three lines in successive order, advanced at a gallop and charged by alternate regiments, then retired to the original ground, and the movements of the day were brought to a close. The troops were then ordered to their quarters in barracks and camp, Gen. Todleben rode off the field ac companied by Sir John Pennefather and the Earl of Car digan, and, having partaken of luncheon at the quarters of the Lieut. General Commanding, left the camp shortly afterwards. The weather was dry and favourable for the manoeuvres, which were witnessed by a considerable num ber of spectators. General Todleben returned to London from Portsmouth on Saturday last. During the time General Todleben re mained in Portsmouth he was the guest of Major General Lord W. Paulet, C.B. Accompanied by that officer, he visited the various objects of interest in and arouud Ports mouth, the lines of fortifications connected and detached, the dockyard, her Majesty's turret ship Royal Sovereign, the gunnery ship Excellent, &c. A board of officers, consisting of one field officer, 2d Brigade, president; Surg. Barry (Military Train), the prin cipal purveyor, and Capt. Akers (Royal Engineers), as sembled at the Royal Engineer-office, South Camp, Alder shott, at 11 o'clock on Friday morning, to report upon the additional accommodation required at the hospital for women at that station. On Friday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, the field batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery at Aldershott were farmed up in order to witness the presentation of medals fJr long service and good conduct to Battery-Sergeant. Major John Brown, 9th Brigade, Gunner Walters, of the Royal Horse Artil lery, and Gunner Lamb, of the Coast Brigade. The presen tation took place with the usual ceremonies. The Ist company of the Royal Engineers, which left Portsmouth un,der the temporary command of Lieut Harris, arrived at Aldershott Camp on Tuesday. The marching in strength of the company was as follows-1 officer, 6 ser- geants, 2 buglers, 68 rank and file, 20 women, and 22 children. Capt. Lampriere assumed the command of the company upon its arrival at tho camp. On Thursday the D Battery, B Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery, Col D'Aguilar, C. 8., and the E and F Batteries, 9th Brigade, Royal Artillery, Col. Elgee, the whole under the command of Sir D. Wood, were inspected at Aldershott by Lieut.-Gen. Sir John Pennefather, K.C.B. The batteries were put through various field evolutions by Col. Wood, to the entire satisfaction of Gen. Pennefather, after which they limbered up and returned to barracks in columns of subdivisions. The men's quarters, stables, schools, rations, So., were subsequently inspected, and so satisfac factory was every department that the Lieut.. General con gratulated Sir David Wood, R.A., and Lieut.-Col. D'Aguilar, R.11.A., on the effectiveness in every way of the force under their respective commands. The drill season having closed at the camp at Colchester, orders have been issued directing the depot battalions to march into the country once a wcek ; the cavalry will also make a weekly march into the country. The whole of the annual inspections having been completed, the Field Marshal Commanding. , in Chief has in a circular memorandum san tioned the issue of leave of absence to officers, and furloughs to noncommissioned officers and privates. The number going on leave of absence at one time is not to exceed one half of tho officers and ten per company per month of the noncommissioned officers and privates. The whole of the officers and noncommissioned officers and privates must bo present at headquarters March 14, 1863, when the leave season expires. We are requested to state that the information contained in some of the morning papers, to the effect that an explo sion of rockets had taken place a few days ago in Wool wich Arsenal, is utterly without foundation. A detachment of Royal Marine Light Infantry, in com mand of First Lieut. E. T. Collins and Second Lieut. W. P. Wright, consisting of 134 noncommissioned officers and privates, left Woolwich on Saturday morning, at, 9, by train for Portsmouth, and were to embark for service on board H.M.S. Victoria on their arrival at noon. The paddlewheel sloop Spiteful, 1,054 tons and 2SO borso power, was on Saturday towed up to Deptford Dockyard, from Woolwich, to undergo thorough overhaul and repair. Her delay at Woolwich beyond the time appointed was oc casioned by a leakage in the after part of the ship, discovered on her removal from dock, and which had to be made good in order to her safety. The cost of repair has been esti mated to exceed £3,000. This will render her equal to new. The Warrior, 40, screw iron frigate, Capt. Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., dismantling at Portsmouth, is to be paid out of commission on the 22d inst. She is ordered to be thoroughly dismantled, everything being returned to store and her machinery taken to pieces. Oa paying off she will be placed in the second class of the Steam Reserve at the port. The Warrior is in splendid order in all her internal arrange ments and her crew have arrived at that state of discipline that can only be attained by unremitting exertions at the close of an ordinary commission. Sne has already exceeded this term, and therefore, notwithstanding the just pride we feel in still calling her the finest and fastest of her Ma jesty's iron clad fleet, there may be good reasons for the Admiralty putting her out of commission. Three reasons are spoken of as having influenced the Admiralty in paying ber out of commission. First, want of men for the three decker Victoria; secondly, the defective condition of the ship's boilers; and thirdly, the intended alteration and continuation of the armour plating around the bow and stern. There is certainly a great want of seamen for the Victoria. The boilers cf the ship have done an immense amount of work, and commensurate results have followed in the reduction of steam pressure from 221 b to 181 b, which must deduct materially from the Warrior's speed at full boiler power. The alteration to the ship's bow and stern would, if carried into effect, necessitate the opening and lengthening the ship's frame forward and aft, otherwise she would be unable to carry the additional armour plating. and would be ruined in her present excellent sea-going qualities and rate of speed under steam. The inspection of the Warrior at Spithead a few days since by Admiral Wir M. Seymour, G.C.8., the Naval Commander-in-Chief et Portsmouth, drew forth the highest encomiums on the discipline of her crew from that veteran officer. In gunnery especially the crew of the Warrior appear to shine pre-eminently, as her crew of 314 seamen is divided into 106 seamen gunners and acting seamen gunners and 208 trained men, and this force has reached its present efficient state solely by the excellent regulations and untiring exertions of the officers from the first hour she was put into commission• In the inspection of the crew at quarters by Sir M. Seymour the heavy 59- cwt 68-pounder guns were dismounted on both sides of the main deck, and shifted over on opposite sides of the deck. One round was fired from the first four guns in the follow ing firms ht gun, 3m 15s-2d gun, 3m 161-3 d gun, Ora-4th gun, Ora is (the last two guns had to be shifted over the chain cables), A CS-pounder was transported fora the 651 1 6 bow port to the stern port, and one round fired from it in 3m ss. In another part of the exorcise all the ship's guns were laid aft at extreme training for en enemy coming up on the quarter, when the order was giv en, " Prepare for an enemy coming down on the bow," and the guns were re versed and relaid for the enemy's new manoeuvre in 40s. Two rounds were next fired, double-shotte3, at the enemy passing on the opposite tack in lm 255, and finally the pivot 110-pounder. gun on the forecastle was transported to the stern port and one round fired in lm 30s. A great deal has necessarily been learnt during the Warrior's commission which has an important bearing upon ships of similarly great length at sea when under sail. One experience thus gained is very decisive and important. The shortest time in which the evolution of tacking was ever accompanied by the obser vance of the ordinary rules was 6 min. 40 SE.C. By swinging the crossjack yard at the same time that the helm was put down, the evolution was accooplis%ed in 5 min, 20 sec., and from the day this was first established as a rule that on all future occasions of tacking the ship the cresFjAck-yard should be swung at the time the helm was put down. It is anticirated that a large number of the Warrior's crew will jo'n the Excellent gaunery ship at Portsmouth. The Aurora, 3 , 5, ecrew frigate, Capt. Sir Leopold M'Clin took, is in dock at Portsmouth undergoing repairs and other• wise refitting, it is reported, for the North American and West India station. . _ Mr Moore, carpenter of the first-class in her Majesty's Navy, and registrar of tides at Portsmouth Dockyard, has been awarded a gratuity of L:0 by the Admiralty, "as a special mark of their lordships' appreciation of his services." Mr Moore, among his many other services thus alluded to, is the inventor of the new form of water tanks, and their present arrangement of.stowage, which is now universally adapted in the fitting out of her Majesty's ships.

Newspaper Press Fund, A special general meeting of the members of this society was held on Saturday afternoon at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, for the purpose of considering the re vised rules and regulations, and of electing committee-men and other (Id _ors for the current year, and for other busi ness; Mr Godwin, one of the vice-presidents in the chair. The committee, which had conducted the affairs of the society at once placed their resignation bony in the hands of the meeting. The business commenced with the hon. secretary, Mr Henry George Warren, reading the rules and regulations seriatim, and a lengthened discussion arose upon some, which were amended. The names of the gentlemen who had formed the committee up to this meeting were read, and they were severally re-elected. By an alteration which was carried in one of the rules, having reference to the management, the number of the committee was in creased from twelve to eighteen. The meeting then proceeded to elect the new members, and to fill up the vacancy caused by the retirement of one of the former committee. The names of the several gentle men who had consented to act, if elected, were put seriatim, and they were duly declared elected, namely—Mr Leicaster Buckingham, Mr T. D, Chipchase, Mr H. Corbett, Mr Callaghan, Mr Findon, Mr E. Lloyd, and Mr Edward M'Dermott. Mr D. M. Evans, C. Downing, and Charles Saunders, were elected auditors. A notice of motion by Mr Frederick Ledger was on the paper of business---" ihat soma recognition of the services which the hon. secretary has rendered to tho institution be made to that gentleman," It was, however, suggested that the funds in hand ought not to be applied to any pur pose other than those for which they had been subscribed, and that while the feeling was unanimous with respect to the value of the services rendered by their es eemed secretary,•it would be the better course for the members themselves to subscribe to a separate testimonial fund rather than that by a vote such as that proposed they should appear to divert any portion of the funds from the objects contemplated at the formation of the society. Alist was at once commenced, Mr Godwin heading it with his name fur two guineas ; Mr Chas. Gruneisen kindly followed the chairman's example, and other members present sub scribed liberal sums. A committee of five was ultimately ap pointed to collect and receive the subscriptions of the mem bers to the Warren Testimonial Fund, The proceedings were closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman of the meeting. The Convict Muller. Yesterday again Franz Muller, now under sentence of death in the prison of Newgate, was visited by the Rev. Mr Walbaum,minister of the German Chapel in St. James's, who remained with him some time. He also attended the morning and evening services in the gaol chapel. Up to last evening he had not shown the slightest inclination to confess the crime of which he has been convicted. On Saturday morning Mr Sheriff Dakin paid him a visit in his cell, and found him reading the Bible. After saying he was glad to see him so suitably engaged, Mr Dakin so lemnly entreated the convict not to indulge the slightest hope that the capital sentence would not be carried into exe'. cution, and exhorted him to make the best use of the short time that remained to him in preparing to die. It is said that a memorial from the German Legal Pro tection Society, embodying an appeal to the clemency of the Crown for a commutation of the sentence, will be forwarded to the Homo Secretary to-day (Monday) or to-morrow. There has been some difference of opinion, it is understood, among themselves as to the grounds on which the appeal should bo made to rest, and that accounts for the delay in presenting the memorial. Originally Mr Beard, with the advice and assistance of the counsel who defended the pri soner on his trial, prepared a memorial praying for mercy on the ground, in effect, if not iu terms, that the crime of which he had been convicted might be fairly presumed to have been unpremeditated, and the unforeseen result of a struggle; but the German Society, at a meeting they held in Finsbury one evening last week, declined to adopt it in that shape, and at the suggestion of their solicitor they agreed to prepare one embodying their own views. In the meantime most scrupulous care has been taken by the Governor of Newgate, and by the officers under him, to conceal from the doomed man the (fries that are being made in that quarter to save his life, lest the knowleege of them might divert his mind from the preparation for death. Mr Beard, the solicitor for the de fence, also declares that, in the ioterviews ho has had with him since his conviction, he has carefully avoided for the same reason 'making any reference to such overtures. Still, there is reason for believing that the convict is not altoge- Cher ignorant of such overtures, and the Governor and the Chaplain are understood to regret the circumstance very much for his own sake. " It is understood (according to the Observer of yester day). that a communication has been made by the Secretary of State to the judges who presided at the trial, with refe rence to the case, as to their opinion of the verdict. It is customary in all cases of capital conviction ,for such an ap plication to be made, and it is said that both the Lord Chief Baron and Mr Baron Martin, in reply, stated that they considered the evidence entirely conclusive, and that they saw no reason to doubt the propriety of the verdict. The prisoner, since his conviction, has been ,repeatedly invited to give some reasonable explanation how he became pos sessed of the property that was stolen from Mr Briggs on the night of the murder, and the possession of which formed such cogent evidence in support of the charge against him ; but he has evaded ,doing so, and expresses himself unable to say more than that ho bought it. lie has, how ever, made a very important admission in reference to the evidence given by Matthews, the cabman, as to his having purchased a hat for him at Mr Walker's, which is that Matthews really did purchase a hat or him, but he ap pears utterly unable to give any account of what has become of that hat, and the only inference that can be drawn is that the hat so purcha9sd was the one found in the railway carriage." Meantime the prisoner continues cool and collected, and to eat and sleep well. lie is even much improved in ap- pearance mince his conviction. His countenance, which at times during the trial was pale and careworn, is said to have assumzd its wonted hue and expression, and altogether he is described as being in high health. llis father and mother and a sister, it is said, reside in Saxe Weimar. lle wrote a letter to them a few days ago. It was in German, and in it he only slightly alluded to the crime of which he had been convicted, without saying either that he was innocent or guilty.

The adjourned November Sessions commenced this morning at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell.green. (Before the Assistant-Judge.) ROBBERY BY A BARMAN. Francis flatswell, barman, was charged with stealing certain silver money, the property of his employer, Mr, hompson, a licensed victualler, and Andrew Rart was charged with receiving the said money, knowing it to havo been stolen. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner Hatswell was in the habit of serving Hart with various refresh ments at the bar of his master's house. The day's 'taking" at the till under the charge'cf Hatswell, a watch was kept and other means taken to ascertain whether he was dishonest. He was in the habit of ing carriages on Sundays and, in company with o'.hcrs driving into the country. H:s employer, feeling rositive that such recreation could not not be consistent with the honest means of the prisoner, determined upon tliscovering the manner in which the luxuries were procured, and in a short time the prisoner was detected in giving money out of the till to Hart. • The Jury found both prisoners guilty. The Assistant.•Jadge said it was a most lamentable thirg that servants with good wages and board and lodging could not refrain from plundering their employers. Ho should like to know the amount the prisoner had taken from his master. Mr Thompson said since the prisoner had been in custody the " takings" had increased frum Bs. to 10s. a day. The Assistant Judge sentenced Hatswell to nine, and Hart to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. James Allen was found guilty of stealing a quantity of silver-plate and other property, valued at £7. Sentence deferred. Charles Ricketts pleaded guilty to an indictment, charging him with stealing two iron slabs. As there was s former conviction proved against him, ecotone° wa a also deferred in his case, Important Lifeboat Services BLIIiENEY, NORFOLX, Nov. 5, I have the pleasure (writes the ltev. It. 11. Tillard) to report that the Lifeboat of the National Institution hero has been instrumental in saving six livcs this morning. A French Chasse Mare?, the Eleanor, of Nantes, came on shore last night about half-past nine o'clock, the wind blowing hard from N.N.W., and the night hazy. At day light she was seen from Blakeney, and the weather being bad and the 82a very heavy, it was determined to send the lifeboat out to her. The vessel was en the West Sand, about an hour's pull from the boat house. When the lifeboat got alongside, it was found that the vessel was aground, waterlogged, and rolling very heavily, the sea breaking over her. All hands on her were within a very little of being washed overboard in sight of the lifeboat's crew ; they were prevented only by an oar lashed across the rig., ging. The poor fellows were overjoyed at the sight of the lifeboat, and only too glad to leave their vessel and get on board the boat. They were landed at Blakeney Quay about ten o'clock. The lifeboat crew speak in the highest pos sible terms of the boat, and especially of her sailing before the w ind, with a heavy sea following. They also say that she behaved beautifully in returning under canvass and in pulling out against wind and tide, with a very heavy beam sea. The cost of this valuable lifeboat was presented to the National Institution by Miss Brightwcll, of Norwich. Railway Traffic Returns for the Weeks Miles Opened. Receipts.

A lease of the premises was granted in 1860, for 21 years, at £63 a year; the present value of the land was £206 a year. The amount payable under the lease was asserted to be much below to value of the property. The principal question presented to the jury was the value of the reversion. In addressing the jury, the commissioner said that the house was a very old ono, in which Milton had lived. The jury assessed the compen.M sation at £3,250, or considerably more than twice as much as the Metropolitan Railway Company offered, DEMOLITION BY GIINFOWDER CF A PORTION OF THE GREAT EXHIBITION BUILDING.—The remain+ ing portions of the Exhibition Building, c nsisting of the towers in the Albert-road,were on Saturday operated on by the Sappers and Miners, with the object of throwing thorn to the ground, by gunpowder. The gunpowder was ar ranged to be exploded by electricity, and after some little delay the back portion or half of the first Albert tower, as though smitten by an invisible influence from within, fell down upon its basement, amid the applause of many spec tators. Tho entire space surrounding it was enveloped in clouds of dust, caused by the demolition and debris. Some further attempts were made to dislodge the remaining h a lf of the tower, but as it was getting dusk, and as further operations were deemed dangerous, the Sappers and Miners were called off the grounds.

They raised their voices in a hearty and continued cheer, which was taken up by regiment after regiment, until its volume was swelled by many thousands of thi oats. Most of the blacks were women, several were quite old ; there was one stout men. The young women bowed and curtseyed and showed their white teeth; the older ones mumbled their toothless jaws with emotion ; one waved an old palm leaf fan ; the man ran forward to respond to the unexpected greetil g which met him, and was received with open arms by the sable soldiers, They cheered yet more lustily ; they threw their caps into the air; they gathered about the freedman, and, grasping his hind, a score of them at a time, fairly danced fir joy, or c led with delight.
